Just at the top of the flight of stairs, you can discover the tradition of the 'president fir', typical of Doubs since the 19th century. Each forest sees its most remarkable fir or spruce officially elected “President” during a ceremony to which foresters, local elected officials and the general public are invited. If this tree were to die, a new tree will then be elected.

The Serpentine, (first tributary of the Ain river whose source is located a little higher) forms a small lake near the ruins of a mill. It is from a cornice that this beautiful natural waterfall 15 meters high comes to life when the water level is sufficient.

This city in the Middle Ages was a highly strategic place. For more than 300 years, from the 13th to the 16th century, its inhabitants controlled the commercial exploitation of salt by establishing rights of passage for merchants who went to Switzerland. So you will find in its center many beautiful period houses, irrefutable testimonies of this ancient wealth. The castle of the princes of Oranges was destroyed, and did not stand the test of time.

Very impressive, about 1 km walk from the parking lot nearby, swimming not possible and not recommended

Medieval town

At the source of the Ain, you will find footbridges and interpretation panels to help you navigate and understand the site. A beautiful and relaxing place to take a break from your run.

The river seems to weave through cracks in the bedrock before flowing into a crystal clear pool. Amazing geography.
